Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a supporting element for a tobacco industry machine used in a production machine for manufacturing tobacco, filter or multi-segment rods.
  • a continuous rod is manufactured which is cut during its movement into individual rods cut off from the continuous rod.
  • reciprocating mounted knives situated perpendicular to the axis of the manufactured continuous rod were used.
  • rotating knives which cut the continuous rod during the movement of the rod are commonly used.
  • the rotating knives are mounted to a rotating knife head whose axis is not parallel to the axis of the continuous rod. The inclination of the knife head and the special mounting of the knives make it possible to cut the continuous rod during movement.
  • the supporting element is made in the form of two sleeves having cutting surfaces directed opposite to each other, whereas the sleeves are situated coaxially and their cutting surfaces are spaced from each other at a distance equal to the thickness of the knife increased by a clearance.
  • the continuous rod is formed by wrapping the tobacco or filter material into a continuous wrapping material and gluing by means of an adhesive placed along the overlapping edges of the wrapping material.
  • the adhesive may deposit on the knife, and further the dirt from the knife may be transferred onto the supporting element, both onto the element in the form of closed cutting sleeves and open supporting elements.
  • the object of the invention is a supporting element for a tobacco industry machine designed to support a continuous rod moving axially during cutting by a rotationally mounted knife, whereas the supporting element comprises an at least partially cylindrical supporting surface for the continuous rod, having a longitudinal axis, moreover the supporting element has a front surface constituting a cutting surface, characterised in that the front surface has a depression.
  • the supporting element according to the invention is further characterised in that the depressed surface is parallel to the front surface.
  • the supporting element according to the invention is further characterised in that the depressed surface is situated at an angle to the front surface.
  • the supporting element according to the invention is further characterised in that the width of the depression is equal to or greater than the diameter of the cylindrical supporting surface.
  • the supporting element according to the invention is further characterised in that the outer part of the front surface is conical.
  • the supporting element according to the invention is further characterised in that the front surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the supporting surface.
  • the object of the invention is further a machine for manufacturing of rods in the tobacco industry provided with a feeding unit arranged to feed a filling material, a unit adapted to feed a wrapping material, a continuous rod forming unit, and a cutting unit provided with a rotating cutting head.
  • the machine according to the invention is characterised in that the cutting unit is provided with a supporting element according to the invention situated so that the axis of depression is directed convergently with the direction of movement of the knife mounted on the rotating head.
  • An advantage of the solution according to the invention is an increased quality of the tobacco, filter or multi-segment rods, in particular an improved cutting quality.
  • the application of depression according to the invention forms a removing channel which allows removing adhesive or other dirt generated in the course of production of the continuous rod or in the process of knife sharpening. As a result, such dirt does not get into a receiving sleeve and does not cause product degradation.
  • Fig. 1 shows a fragment of a machine for manufacturing rods 1 of a continuous rod 2 moving axially and lengthwise.
  • the continuous rod 2 is conveyed in the direction T shown with the arrow and moves through cutting sleeves 3, 3' which are mechanically connected with each other and constitute a supporting unit 3A designed to support the continuous rod 2 during cutting.
  • the cutting sleeves 3, 3' may be identical.
  • the sleeves 3, 3' may be mounted to flexible springy elements 6 or in any other way typical for rod manufacturing machines of the tobacco industry.
  • a drive mechanism designed to put the sleeves 3, 3' into reciprocating motion in the direction of movement of the continuous rod 2 is not shown in the drawing.
  • the cutting sleeves and other elements fulfilling the same function will be hereinafter referred to as supporting elements.
  • the supporting element 3 shown in Fig. 2 has a cylindrical outer surface 7 and two front surfaces 8 and 9.
  • the supporting element 3 has a substantially cylindrical guiding surface 10 situated coaxially to the outer surface 7, whereas the guiding surface 10 may be situated eccentrically to the outer surface 7.
  • the supporting element 3 may have a freely shaped outer surface 7.
  • the guiding surface 10 has a longitudinal axis 11 being the geometrical axis of the cylindrical surface.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical surface 16 is greater than the diameter of the guiding surface 10.
  • the lateral surfaces 14 and 15 and the depressed surface 13 form a channel having an outlet 18 for the dirt produced during the cutting.
  • the depression 12 has an axis 19 directed from the axis 10 to the outlet 18.
  • the front surface 8 constitutes the cutting surface and is the surface over which the knife 4 moves when cutting the continuous rod 2.
  • the depression 12 may be shaped in another way so that the front surface 8 may constitute the guiding surface for the knife 4.
  • the depression 12 may be rectangular or have the shape of a truncated pyramid.
  • the front surface 8 is chamfered, around the front surface 8 extends a conically shaped surface 17 which facilitates inserting the knife 4 into the gap between the supporting elements.
  • the supporting element 3' is similar to the supporting element 3 of the first embodiment.
  • the front surface 8 there is a depression 12' having a depressed surface 13' being substantially parallel to the front surface 8, lateral surfaces 14' and 15' and a cylindrical surface 16'.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical surface 16' of the depression 12' is equal to the diameter of the guiding surface 10.
  • Fig. 4 shows location of the supporting element 3 relative to the knife 4 on the rotating head 5, on a manufacturing machine, rotating in the direction shown with the arrow.
  • the supporting element 3 is positioned so that the depression 12 enables the dirt generated during the cutting to get out through the outlet 18.
  • the axis 19 of the depression 12 is substantially convergent with the direction of movement K of the knife K 4.
  • Fig. 5 shows two supporting elements 3 in a cross-section A-A through the axis 2A of the continuous rod 2 (the cross-section is denoted in Fig. 4 ).
  • the depressed surface 13 of the supporting element 3 is parallel to the front surface 8, whereas inclination of the depressed surface 13A shown with a broken line at the angle ⁇ in the range between 0° and 10° is possible.
  • the depressions 12 of both supporting elements 3 form a channel for the dirt produced during the cutting having a constant cross-section or widening in the direction of movement of the knife 4.
  • Fig. 6 shows the supporting element 33 which has the rectangular shape which is open on one side and having two front surfaces 38 and 39.
  • the supporting element 3 has a partially cylindrical guiding surface 40 and two flat surfaces 51, 52.
  • the guiding surface 40 has a longitudinal axis 41 being the geometrical axis of the cylindrical surface.
  • In the front surface 38 there is a depression 42 having a depressed surface 43 being substantially parallel to the front surface 38, and lateral surfaces 44 and 45.
  • the lateral surfaces 44 and 45 and the depressed surface 43 form a channel for the dirt produced during the cutting having an outlet 48.
